🚨🚨Preprint alert!🚨🚨 We removed the main centromere 3 domain of Drosophila‼️ We designed an inducible dCas9-Fok1 system to cut 🧬 at unique sequences flanking the ~50-kb island where most of CENP-A sits. To our knowledge, this has never been attempted in a living animal!

Happy to share our new preprint on the discovery of the autonomous form of the D. melanogaster transposon previously known as Hopper. We characterize its distribution and related elements, including one homolog showing remarkably extensive horizontal spread across Drosophila species.
